What to expect during our design collaboration...

Introduction & Brainstorm

Either over the phone, over a cup of coffee or Skype we will discuss your wedding details. I can learn more about you and your partner, the vibe you have in mind for your wedding and go over the design process in more detail. This is where you can share the amazing Pinterest board I know you have in the works already!

Mood / Inspiration Board

I will create a custom mood board for you to show the direction and details I have in mind. This will include a color palette, possible type and fonts and other details. We will review and refine this together. We will also confirm the exact wording you want used on the invitation. This is the launch pad for designing the your individual invitation suite!

After I understand the scope and detail of your wedding needs, I'll create an estimate for you for the project. Once approved I will provide a contract outlining scope of work, timeline and other details. At this point a 50% deposit is due to begin work.

Please note costs are for design and calligraphy work only and do not include printing or materials.

Payment Schedule

Once estimate is approved by you a 50% deposit is due to begin work.

Remaining 50% is due upon completion of work. I will then ship or hand-off your invitations to you!
